We are developing humanoid robots for operations in urban
environments. With our most recent robot, M2V2, several organizations
and many individuals have had a significant influence on the work and/or
are currently collaborating with us. These include:

IHMC: Algorithm development,
particularly disturbance recovery, using the concept of Capture Points
to determine the best stepping location for recovery. Also mechanical
design, prototyping, assembly, and debugging.

MIT Leg Laboratory: M2V2 is based on the robot M2.
This project was led by Dr. Gill Pratt. Dan Paluska was the chief
mechanical designer. David Robinson designed and anlyzed the actuators.
Other contributors include Allen Parseghian, Jerry Pratt, Chee-Meng
Chew, John Hu, Andreas Hofmann, Mike Wessler, Pete Dilworth, Ben Krupp,
and Chris Morse. Both M2 and M2V2 utilize Series Elastic Actuators,
which were invented by Gill Pratt and Matthew Williamson, U.S.patent 5650704.
